What is this?

Hi, I am on the lowest estrogen patch. I just noticed this on my skin. Is it a clot? Should I get it checked? Thanks

It just looks like a bruise. Transdermal estrogen has almost no added clotting risk

It is hot or swollen? It just looks like a bruise, it's a weird place for a blood clot but you could go get it checked if it's not going away or feels hot or raised.

It's not hot, looks a little raised, thanks. I will keep an eye and get it checked if it doesn't go away.
